Abstract
Building Churches and Asserting one’s Identity. The Settlement of Orthodox Greeks in Pera/BeyoÏlu (Istanbul) in the 20th century.
The Greek orthodox community of Pera (BeyoÏlu or Stavrodromi, Istanbul), which went through a remarkable development during the last decades of the ottoman era, is officially founded in 1804. The same year was also inaugurated the first orthodox church in BeyoÏlu. This study presents the community’s progressive settlement in this part of the city, in particular through the building of the three churches opened in 1804, 1861 and 1880. The cases under study make clear that for this population – most of them immigrants – the building of places of worship was of crucial importance, especially regarding to its identity but also its place within the constantinopolitan society of this period.
